Greg Gard made it clear he isn't promising anything to his players this season.

Greg Gard and the University of Wisconsin basketball team are gearing up for the upcoming 2023-24 season with a newfound sense of competition and intensity.

While the Badgers basketball team returns all five starters from last year’s underachieving squad, Wisconsin’s head coach is making it clear that no one’s minutes are guaranteed.

“I haven’t named any starters yet; it’s open season on minutes,” Gard said during his press conference at local media day.
